The casual life of the flat space

"You said these are mountain products. Did you make them all yourself?" Zhou Shuqin asked.

"Haha, I'm a little greedy, so I picked some fruits to appease my appetite. Please don't laugh at me, sister."

"These all look very delicate. My sister has great cooking skills! Sanzi, bring some suitable tableware." Zhou Shuqin said to Sanzi who was outside the door.

As the two chatted, Zhou Shuqin ordered some tea and handed it to Bai Tieying. She then picked up the few things Bai Tieying brought and tasted them one by one.

The pear strips are refreshing, the fried cherries are rich in flavor, the dried apples are very chewy, and this lantern jam is also very good with snacks. The dried persimmons are sweet and sour, and the apricot meat...canned? It's quite vivid.

Bai Tieying was happy to see her praising him, so she asked her how she was doing recently. Zhou Shuqin sighed and slowly told her what had happened to her during this period, which was also an explanation for why she didn't go to find Bai Tieying.

"That day, with the help of everyone, we took that beast to the county government office. The county magistrate did not immediately go to the court to try the case. Instead, as you said, a man who looked like a lawyer came to ask what was going on. I remembered your instructions and told him my purpose.

I really had nothing to give, so I thought that I couldn't let that Jiang guy get away with it, so I said that if you could help with the divorce and bring the Jiang family to justice, I would be willing to give the house in my dowry to the county magistrate.

But the master came back and said something about where the contract of Bafangke was. I got angry and said that I might as well go back and wait for death. Wouldn't it be the same as now if I had nothing? If Jiang Lixin dared to kill someone directly, he would have killed him long ago. What should I be afraid of?

The lawyer changed his expression again, saying that he was worried that I, a woman, could not stand alone. I was confused at the time and really didn't want to live, so I said that at most I would die in the county government office. The lawyer comforted me and left in a hurry. After a while, the court was opened.

The facts are clear, with witnesses and evidence. Huang's mother confessed everything to save her daughter from being tortured. My father-in-law and mother-in-law, no, Jiang Lixin's parents, could not bear the torture and confessed. Jiang Lixin's words were testified by so many people that day, and the court sentenced me to divorce, Jiang Lixin to be executed in the autumn, and his parents to be exiled a thousand miles away...

When I got back, I sold all my slaves and gave other things to the refugees in the refugee village in the south of the city. Then I sent the house deed to the lawyer, and I also packed up my things and welcomed guests from all over the world.

I thought the matter was over here, and I went to the Chengnan Medical Center to ask for your address, planning to visit you the next day. But who knew that a group of people came early the next morning and said that someone had eaten something bad at Bafangke the day before and was vomiting blood. I hurried out and was panicked at first, but then I suddenly remembered you and calmed down. This calmness made me realize the problem. The blood that person vomited was chicken blood, so I reported it to the authorities and did not go to Chengxianhe Village that day.

The next day I wanted to go again, but a group of people were fighting at the door of Bafang Guest House early in the morning. I saw them coming towards Bafang Guest House, and hurriedly asked the waiters to stop them. I don't know how I ended up fighting with the waiters of Bafang Guest House. You saw it just now. There were only two waiters who didn't fight at the time. The others were arrested and taken to the county government like the group of people. I spent a lot of money to bail them out, but they came to me one by one and begged me to let them go and offered to pay money to redeem themselves. I got angry and let them go.

I have a stupid brain, I didn't want to go to your place on the third day, I just wanted to recruit some waiters first. But somehow, there were so many people coming to the restaurant that day that the two waiters had no time to work, and the shopkeeper was too busy to serve the dishes.

Soon, a customer overturned a table and kicked a chair. I apologized and made amends, which was very frustrating. It was not until after noon that I realized what was going on. I immediately stopped entertaining new customers and that eased the situation a little. But the loss from that meal was several times the profit. I was so scared that I didn't dare to open the restaurant for several days. I just wanted to hire a new waiter as soon as possible.

As you can see, the person was never brought in, and many things happened in the meantime. The store was able to open, but business became increasingly slow, so I never went to your place. But I also figured out why, and when I went to ask around, I found out that the bastard agreed to help the county magistrate take Bafangke away in order to save his life and to avenge me. I knew I had offended the county magistrate and should hand Bafangke over, but I just…"

Zhou Shuqin couldn't help shedding tears when she said this. Bai Tieying took out her handkerchief and comforted her: "Sister, you have done a great job. You are worthy of being your uncle's daughter. A woman independently supports a restaurant. This is the first time in Shang'an County, right?

It is a great honor to know your mistakes and improve them. You have taken the first step towards success. As for the other things, they are not your fault, so don't blame yourself. Your uncle in heaven would not want you to be so sad. "

"Thank you, sister. I've been feeling depressed for a while, and when I saw you, I just wanted to let it out, and you came to comfort me. Haha, in fact, if I had given birth to a child earlier, the child would be as old as you. As a sister, I'm really taking advantage of you."

"Okay, I'm relieved to see that you can still joke. Why can't I call you sister? You are as beautiful as a flower and your age is beautiful. I decided to call you that day to remind you not to be stubborn. If you don't understand, I really can't help you. As for sister and younger sister, I think there is nothing wrong with it. We are not relatives and we still have to talk about seniority. Anyway, I can't say that if I am asked to call you aunt or aunt."

"That's great. I will boldly acknowledge you as my sister. If you don't mind, we sisters can visit each other often in the future... Oh, but I don't know how long I can stay in Shang'an County." Zhou Shuqin thought of Bafangke's situation and felt distressed again.

"Sister, after listening to what you just said, I'll tell you something. Come closer and listen..."

Bai Tieying's mysterious look made Zhou Shuqin quickly turn sideways to listen, but after listening to just a few words, she opened her mouth wide, turned her head and looked straight at Bai Tieying, as if asking whether it was true or not.

Bai Tieying nodded at her, and stopped talking about the topic. He said, "Sister, what do you think of my mountain products?"

"Ah? Oh! Very good! To be honest, I loved eating these when I was a girl, and I have eaten many kinds of fruits. My father doted on me, and my family ran a restaurant, so I have eaten all the fruits that can be bought in Shang'an County. Even now, my restaurant has many fruits, but none of them have the unique taste of yours. Just now I wanted to ask if you could help me make some when you make them this year!"

"Sister, I have an idea that I want to discuss with you. You know what I just said. You can prevent thieves from stealing, but you can't prevent thieves from thinking about it. So why not just close the shop for a few months, renovate it, and open a new Bafangke."
